Here we are, it's REVEAL DAY. After a frantic Wednesday night of finishing, the Doctor Who scarf is finally ready! All tails are tucked in. All fringe is attached. The foolishness and mayhem has been put away forever and in it's place is a gorgeous gift.I invite Kimie to sit on the chaise with her eyes closed and her anticipation running high. With shutters flashing, I place the folded scarf on her lap. "Okay Kimie, open your eyes!"
"Oh my god, it's the longest Doctor Who Scarf in the space-time continuum!" she shouts in amazement. I breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't have to ask "what is it?" :)
It turned out to be a tad shy of the desired length at only 10'3". But still long enough to keep us both warm at the same time!
And do you know what happens now? The scarf is going home with Kimie to Scotland, and my house will be sad and lonely and empty without them
:(

Linda, Where does the Dr Who name originate from? Was there really a Dr Who who knitted a scarf of many colors and made it oh sooooo long?? It is truly beautiful and such a testimony to a wonderful friendship.....not many friends would spend all of that time and effort on such a project......mtb
Doctor Who is a sci-fi series from the UK that's been around since the early 60's. My dad & I used to watch it on PBS. Kimie is a big big fan. The current Doctor Who (it's still on but with a different actor) doesn't wear the scarf, but the one during the 70's did. And it was really that large.
Yay yay yay! And by the way that label was awesome! How'd ya do it?
Sorry, I can never remember my password!

Congrats, Linda, on the beautiful job with the Dr. Who scarf. Only a devoted, persistent, perfectionistic, ocd FRIEND would complete such a task. Kimmie, you are fortunate, indeed, and you'll be reminded of Linda every day back in Scotland. You are a great pair.
Mems agrees.
So, what's the next project, Linda?
The scarf is BEAUTIFUL!
I think Kimie is not very expressive of her emotions (it takes one to know one), otherwise she would have been VERY EXCITED to receive this especially made Dr Who scarf from you.
Mom
But she WAS very excited!!!
Linda:
Congratulations! It's beautiful! What a gift of love to give your friend. And thanks for sharing the experience with us.
Love, Emilie
Congratulations on the scarf. It looks great and I'm sure Kim loves it.

I DO love it. It is sort of my 'doctor who' couch blanket and I use it every day. But, if I DID dress up as a Tom Baker doctor who, I would wear it.
